Go to solution Solved by spwath,

Im in love with the mercury s3 case. But i don't want to spend 300ish dollars on how I want it!

A similar case would be the lian-li PCv359. I love the horizontal motherboard mounting space and I plan on doing a big water cooled build and the whole 9 yard. Is there any alternates to both of these that are up to this quality?

The pc-v359 is a great looking case, I would say that

beer budget with champagne taste....most of us suffer from this affliction. Spend the money because you will be able to use either case for tons of builds and in the long run that is much cheaper. I have owned a couple of caselabs cases and they are amazing, videos dont do them justice.

Don't we all lol, do you think a matx water cooled build would be easy enough in a pc-v359? I think that would be the 'cheap' alternate but if the caselabs case is that much more efficient at water cooling loops then I might just save up.
